Sensory Science Goes Social

SENSORY SCIENCE GOES SOCIAL

SENSORY SCIENCE, MARKET RESEARCH, SOCIAL MEDIA AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Thursday 4 October 2012 at IDA House, Kalvebod Brygge 31 – 33, Copenhagen

Communication is an essential tool in sensory and consumer science and the recent digital social media are becoming an increasingly important instrument in market and corporate research. It is essential that one uses the social media optimally and focuses on the trade-off between cost-benefit and the unique opportunities that they can provide. However, are the data from social networks and blogging valid for all purposes in sensory and consumer research? Should one use other methods in approaching consumers? What to do with the many data, how to process them and make sense out of them? How to share the data and information? The seminar will deal with the above-mentioned questions in order to give a greater awareness of the opportunities and drawbacks of using social media in sensory and consumer research.
